Early Move-In

Personal early move-in requests are intended for any on-campus resident who needs to return before their official Move-in day. These requests should be made due to exceptional circumstances which prevent you from arriving on your scheduled date.

Our office will try to accommodate these requests; however, in some cases, you may need to be housed in temporary assignments if your room assignment is not ready.

Request & Approval Process

  • The Early Move-In Request process will open at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, May 14.
    • Requests can be completed through your Housing Portal under "Manage My Housing" at the top on the homepage.    
  • We will begin reviewing requests the week of June 2 in the order they are received.
  • An email to your BGSU account will be sent to notify you when the request has been approved.
  • Charges will be billed to your student Bursar account after you move-in.
